This guy got on the radio and said Jaylen Brown was using him to play victim and is now on like hour 36 of talking to himself about Jaylen Brown with zero public acknowledgement of any kind from him lol
Brian Scalabrine: “If I were to do PR work for Jayson Tatum, I would just remind everyone who led the league in turnovers last year.” 😬 (h/t @automaticnba)

I need Pablo Torre Finds Out to stay on the Stupid Shit Clay Travis Says beat. I would listen to an eight-part series on the time he lost his mind that an airline didn’t want to fly his kid with ACTIVE LICE.
Clay Travis claims The Cheesecake Factory was a childhood luxury. Except it didn't open in Nashville until he was 26. @Timodc and @PabloTorre investigate the curious case of his restaurant nostalgia: “We are now swift boating Clay Travis for Cheesecake Factory stolen valor.”

We polled a bipartisan sample of 1,417 U.S. adults, with @YouGov, about all sorts of sports/politics questions. Here's just one of the things we found out:
NEW: The NCAA tells us ZERO trans student-athletes are now competing in women's sports. Why does 15% of America think there are tens of THOUSANDS? "Politics are winning on the back of fiction."

Philadelphia Eagles since Jalen Hurts was drafted in 2020: when Jalen Hurts starts: 59-28 record (67.8%) when Jalen Hurts doesn't start: 6-14-1 record (31.0%) Turns out Hurts might be pretty fucking important to the Eagles' success.

Demonize people enough, this is what happens. It's like the monster under your bed.
In a new poll, 15% of Americans said they believe between 1 and 5% of NCAA athletes are transgender. 14% think between it's between 6 and 25%. Meanwhile, an NCAA spokesperson confirmed that the current number is "effectively" zero thebulwark.com/p/new-poll-bu…

I would understand if Sirianni is let go at the end of the year due to a stale offense over the years, despite the coordinator. I could also argue that our insane injury luck may absolve him with the higher ups. But I truly don’t know.

Been out, this is all because a couple of students called him corny on an instagram video no one saw?

Closing message in Michigan is just full send racism. It is so sad that we have, as a society, allowed ourselves to grow numb to this stuff coming from the people who rule us.
Beamer on El-Sayed: He has a birth certificate but he's not an American. He had the choice to be an American or not. He has chosen otherwise. He has blood that's red. However, he has chosen to remove any strain of the white and blue part in his blood. We cannot allow this man to invade and, occupy our country. (He is an American)

All those nonsensical arguments about the separation of sport and politics. So much time wasted on stupidity to engage with people whose entire position was that it was fine when it’s their politics, because that’s not politics, but anything to the left of that was/is ridiculous.

MUCH better drive for Tanner. Much more confident. Shout out to Kendall and Landon too. They are making the difference. Pass protection is on point.

I really miss Obama making people like this lose their minds
Your boss Obama’s joke is Cheesecake Factory has a cheap & garish design. Most normal Americans consider Cheesecake to be a high end, expensive place to eat reserved for special occasions. You guys are tone deaf. And, yes, I’m clearly too dumb to comprehend your brilliance too.

Yesterday Trump repeatedly called Abdul El-Sayed a "jihadist", told Nicki Minaj she had a "beautiful ass" and asked her to stand up so the crowd could admire it, and yet the dumbest people on Twitter are still pretending to be offended by a mention of the Cheesecake Factory.

Look, I get that it's easy to ALWAYS be upset with Sirianni, but Tanner missed those throws. And he had good protection.

It’s okay if some people are still rooting for the team to win. No need to police them. It doesn’t affect you.

it's not the Novel prize. but Omar M. Yaghi did win the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 2025
RFK: "There's five hundred million Arabs in the world. And yet they don't produce science. They don't win the Novel Prize. They don't win the Fields Prize. They don't win the Wolf Prize. They don't produce literature."
